Hello lovely lovely readers! I am making this uber-quick update post just to mention that one, I am alive, but two, my posts may not be as frequent. It’s simple: I’m taking a six-week online math course and I’m stuck spending all my hours on coursework, and then regular work. My poor blog is taking […]

I’ll admit, I have somewhat of a fascination with these strange “internet” subculture styles. Sea punk, health goth, tropigoth, and space grunge are all prime examples of these subcultures. They seem to primarily exist on Tumblr and Pinterest boards, with an occasional article about their existence appearing on some major news network, or a popular Hollywood celebrity incorporating the theme into a performance or music video.

They sucked me in! I saw these babies while waking down the street and they are two for 12. I’ve wanted some Octogon sunglasses for a long time. I like the way they look on my face, and not to mention, the blue tint matched my outfit. I also bought a pair in black, but […]
